LitLinks

During Week 3, we had the privilege of hosting the ACT Association for the Teaching of English (AATE) and their LitLinks workshop, designed to develop our students' creative writing skills. This event was a fantastic opportunity for our students to dive deep into the world of storytelling, explore new writing techniques, and foster their love for literature.

We were delighted to be joined by students from St Francis Xavier College and Radford College. The collaboration among the schools created an inspiring environment, where ideas were exchanged, and creativity thrived.

A special thank you to Rita van Haren and Jenine Westerburg from AATE for their expert leadership throughout the sessions. Their guidance was instrumental in helping the students navigate their creative writing journey.

LitLinks is a creative writing competition open to all ACT school students in years 7-12 and their teachers. https://www.actlitlinks.com.au/

ICAS Assessments

On Friday, our students had the opportunity to participate in the ICAS English competition, an event that challenges students to apply their critical thinking and language skills in a competitive environment. This annual competition is a fantastic platform for our students to showcase their abilities in English, testing their comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, and creative writing skills.

We are incredibly proud of all the students who took part in this competition and their commitment to honing their English skills and their willingness to challenge themselves. Participating in ICAS fosters a sense of achievement and confidence that will serve them well in their academic pursuits.

Congratulations to all participants for their hard work and dedication. Keep up the great work!
